[PATCH v2 5/5] hwmon: (pmbus/max20830): add support for max20830c and max20840c
From: Alexis Czezar Torreno
Date: Sun Jul 05 2026 - 22:11:30 EST
Add support for MAX20830C and MAX20840 step-down DC-DC switching
regulator with PMBus interface. MAX20830C is a different packaging
for MAX20830, and MAX20840C supports 40A regulation compared to
MAX20830 that is only 30A.

-This driver supports hardware monitoring for Analog Devices MAX20830
-Step-Down Switching Regulator with PMBus Interface.
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for Analog Devices MAX20830, MAX20830C
+and MAX20840C. These are Step-Down Switching Regulator with PMBus Interface.
-The MAX20830 is a 2.7V to 16V, 30A fully integrated step-down DC-DC switching
-regulator. Through the PMBus interface, the device can monitor input/output
-voltages, output current and temperature.
+MAX20830, and MAX20830C are 2.7V to 16V, 30A fully integrated step-down DC-DC
+switching regulators. MAX20840C is similar but can reach 40A. Through the PMBus
+interface, these devices can monitor input/output voltages, output current and
+temperature.
The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
Documentation/hwmon/pmbus.rst for details on PMBus client drivers.
